Liberals and Leftists have exactly the same DNA as Chimps.....they're Chumps..

Wow...look how close Teddy's DNA must be!

[I Drive Too Fast]

Tomato and human DNA is 50% identical.

Hmmm. Is this the reason we turn red when we are embarrased?

[week 71]

4%...what is that.. about 8 million base-pairs?

YEC INTREP - common design = common Designer, not common ancestor

[VadeRetro]

Nah! Ichneumon's demonstration that only common ancestry (not common design) makes sense.

[mmercier]

Big deal...

I can load my revolver, start a fire, and cook monkey boy medium rare before he could figure out how to pull a turd from his diaper.

[LaineyDee]

It's that 4% you gotta watch out for.

*chuckle* That's the same thing I thought when I read the headline. :)

[mlc9852]

That's what I thought - lol.

[LaineyDee]

ROFLLLL!!!! *wipes tears*

[jla]

Hey, you're supposed to post the original title!

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list. Anyone can post any unrelated link as they see fit.

Human/chimp DNA similarity

Argument: Common design points to common ancestry

[Pharmboy]

Mebbe closer...

[VadeRetro]

Nice of you to post your source for the point I just refuted. Still, it's refuted.

[Ichneumon]

Human/chimp DNA similarity
Argument: Common design points to common ancestry

Both of your links grossly misrepresent the actual nature of the DNA evidence, and both sidestep the most significant features of that evidence -- but then, what else would one expect from creationist sources?

Do you have anything that actually deals with the subject head-on, instead of in a misleadingly disingenuous manner?

If this is the best you folks can do, why do you even bother?

Best post of the day!

I don't give a rats darn about any thing past the first RNA strand.

That first RNA strand. Or as the Discovery channel put it so eloquently last weekend " Someplace the first chemical reaction occurred."

So that first RNA strand coming together in the early waters of the earth.

Was that first RNA strand part of the 20th stanza of a symphony. Or just by accident?????

Prove the accident.
